Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“Although this review is not being posted from my personal Google account, my name is Terra E. Pernell, and I wanted to share our family’s experience with Dodds. My family came to Dodds to select a headstone for our mother. After her homegoing, we were not ready to make an immediate decision about placing her headstone. It took time for our family to heal and feel prepared to move forward. When we were finally ready, I am truly grateful that we chose Dodds to create our mother’s memorial. Josh was incredibly understanding, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. He took great care in guiding us and paid close attention to every detail to ensure we were able to properly honor our mother’s memory. From the very first time we walked through the door to the moment we were notified that her headstone had been placed, we experienced nothing but professionalism, kindness, and exceptional care. Our family is sincerely thankful to Josh and the team at Dodds for helping us create such a beautiful and meaningful tribute to our mother. The design choice, the quality of the stone and materials, the timeline for delivery, future care instructions, were all clearly provided and explained. Thank you, Dodds, and thank you Josh!”
